How to register to vote

Updated 7:05 am, Thursday, October 11, 2012

• Applications to register by mail must be postmarked no later than Friday and received by your local board of elections no later than Wednesday.

• Friday is also the deadline to register in person at your local board of elections or any state agency — including the Department of Motor Vehicles — that participates in the National Voter Registration Act. (If you have been honorably discharged from the military or will become a naturalized citizen after Friday, you have until Oct. 26.)

• If you've moved since the last time you voted, a change of address notice must be received by Wednesday at your county board of elections in order to be processed by Nov. 6.
